Whirlwind is the only way to describe Tuesday 23, 2011. Rusty headed outside early, with Herb following, to clean up the rubble on our side of the fence after the barn went over. Bobi, Cienna and I ate a hurried breakfast and were soon on our way to Enterprise.
We have a list: First the grocery store, then soroptomists, then back to Joseph, where we are meeting friend Pat for coffee at the Arrowhead Chocolate shop. Pat, Bobi and I have been playing a three-way scrabble game on facebook for several months now, and this is a chance for Bobi and Pat to meet in person. We talk non-stop for an hour and a half, sipping latte's and drooling over all of the chocolates, in the candy cases. Our last stop finds us at the Sheep Shed, where Bobi has her felted bags on consignment. We remove the "old bags" and replace them with newly made ones, that she has brought from Portland. We leave the shop and as Bobi starts to open her car door, she yells, "Oh my God!" Cienna and I are quickly out of the car to see what her problem is. She points out to us that there is a big hole in the sunroof of her car. No one is around, there are no rocks anywhere that might have caused this. We are dumb founded as we get back in the car and go home. After many phone calls to her auto mechanic in Portland and her insurance company, she has an appointment to get the car looked at on Thursday afternoon. Rusty covers the sunroof with plastic and tapes it on with duck tape, hoping that, that will protect the car from the rain she may encounter on the way home. Her car is now parked in our garage and they will leave for home on Thursday morning.
Our day must go on. We fix bean soup and quesadillas for lunch, still shaking our heads and wondering about the sunroof. We have friends coming for dinner. Rusty is making ribs and we will make baked beans, hot rolls and coleslaw to go with the ribs.
In the meantime the Rock chip doc comes to repair the rock chip in the windshield in my Subaru. It is warm and sunny outside now, this compared to yesterday, when it snowed off and on all day.
Becky, John and Pam arrive for dinner. Two hours later we are stuffed and groaning, from eating soooooo much. Another wonderful dinner in the company of family and friends. OWAV:)
